"WILDFLOWER (Anagrammed Lines)
Of will and wire,
allow wind, fire,
in a wildflower."
--@Anthony_Etherin
"It has been a technique fruitful at least of verbiage; discarding cause and effect absolves the novelist of any duty to keep his mock-world coherent, and has made fiction as easy to write as free verse. Like the removal of metre and rhyme from poetics, this discarding throws upon the writer a continuous challenge to surprise and astound. Without any consequential development linking events, the reader is led along by the writer's voice alone, and its promise of ever-new prodigies of horror or style." --Updike, Hugging the Shore
